Writing Skills

Process

  1. Gather requirements - ask user about:
  • What task/domain does the skill cover?
  • What specific use cases should it handle?
  • Does it need executable scripts or just instructions?
  • Any reference materials to include?
  1. Draft the skill - create:
  • SKILL.md with concise instructions
  • Additional reference files if content exceeds 500 lines
  • Utility scripts if deterministic operations needed
  1. Review with user - present draft and ask:
  • Does this cover your use cases?
  • Anything missing or unclear?
  • Should any section be more/less detailed?
